A Global View on Star Formation: The GLOSTAR Galactic Plane Survey. II. Supernova Remnants in the first quadrant of the Milky Way.

Context. The properties of the population of the Galactic Supernova Remnants (SNRs) are essential to our understanding of the dynamics of the Milky Way's interstellar medium (ISM). However, the completeness of the catalog of Galactic SNRs is expected to be only ${\sim}30\%$, with on order 700 SNRs yet to be detected. Deep interferometric radio continuum surveys of the Galactic plane help in rectifying this apparent deficiency by identifying low surface brightness SNRs and compact SNRs that have not been detected in previous surveys. However, SNRs are routinely confused with H II regions, which can have similar radio morphologies. Radio spectral index, polarization, and emission at mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths can help distinguish between SNRs and H II regions. Aims. We aim to identify SNR candidates using continuum emission from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Global view of the Star formation in the Milky Way (GLOSTAR) survey. Methods. GLOSTAR is a C-band (4--8 GHz) radio wavelength survey of the Galactic plane covering $358
